I have talked about this before, with the BT Movio service particularly. Video has not proven to be a huge draw for most people except those that undertake the long commutes, which is not a huge audience. Additionally, the other primary issue (as it was for Movio) is where is the business? How much can you charge. This is important particularly now when sideloading has actually grown quite well off the back of the iTunes store and ‘illegal’ ripping and downloading.
Here though with the BBC they have sidestepped this as they do not charge directly – the UK martket pays for this in the UK Licence fee. If you went to a subscription service (as Movio was) then I personally believe it flies as well as a brick.
